(1) no island named Navarone

(2) the Germans did NOT have giant gun buried in any mountain in Greece

(3) It wasn't even German territory. The Italians controlled Greece (they didn't have giant mountain guns either)

A lot of people think this is an actual historical event, but nothing even close to Guns of Navarone happened during the Greek campaign.

As for the narrative, it is weak with poorly developed characters, inconsistent logic, and Bbling Inept Germans (in reality the Germans were every bit the equal of the British-American invasion force)

.

This movie introduces various things that never occurred. For example Buddy gets in a concert fight that never happened. Also some members of the band are portrayed as racist, frequently using the "N word", when they never used such language.

A biography should be as accurate as possible, whereas this movie is largely fiction .

I realize this represents hunting in the 1950s, but I still find it objectionable. They could have used darts filled with tranquilizers to capture the animals humanely.

Also the plot is nearly non-existent (so was the script, since most of the scenes are ad-libbed). I won't be watching this movie a second time .
